5. Sheath Operating Temperature
Select One:
-325 F to 500 F
-325 F to 750 F
-325 F to 1200 F
Other
The maximum temperature of the application affects the calibration, size (diameter) and material of the sensor we select.
6. Sheath Material
Select One:
304SS
310SS
316SS
INCONEL
Other
The application dictates the choice of sheath materials. 304SS and 316SS are most commonly used but temperatures and corrosive conditions can necessitate the use of other materials.
7. Sheath Diameter
Select One:
.125"
.188"
.250"
.313"
.375"
Other
The Mineral Insulated thermocouples come in a number of sizes but the choice is greatly influenced by the maximum temperature of the application. For high temp applications bigger is better.
8. Sheath Length "L"
Enter Inches:
Although the accuracy of the thermocouple is not affected by the length of the sheath consult the factory when the probe length exceeds 120 inches.
9. Head Mounting Fittings
Select Type:
None
SS Fixed Bushing
Steel Fixed Hex Nipple
SS Fixed Hex Nipple
Single Male NPT
Double Male NPT
Other
Fittings of all thread sizes, materials and design are available for most applications.
(For Hex Nipple and NPT only)
Select NPT:
None
1/8" NPT
1/4" NPT
1/2" NPT
3/4" NPT (Fixed Bushing Only)
10. Sheath Fittings
Select Type:
None
Fixed Bayonet Fitting
SS Fixed Bushing
Steel Fixed Hex Nipple
SS Fixed Hex Nipple
SS Spring Loaded Fixed Hex Nipple
Brass Compression (one time adj.)
SS Compression (one time adj.)
SS Compression (re-adjustable)
Other
Fittings of all thread sizes, materials and design are available for most applications.
(For Compression Fittings and Fixed Bushing only)
Select NPT:
None
1/8" NPT
1/4" NPT
1/2" NPT
3/4" NPT (Fixed Bushing Only)
11. Fitting Location "F"
Enter inches from tip ( "N" for None )
Measured from the first thread to the tip of the sheath. Allow for the thread-in insertion length of the fitting when determining location.
12. Special Options
N
None
P
Electro-etching
B
RTD Transmitter
S
Spring Loaded
C
Programmable Transmitter
Y
Certificate of Conformance
H
High Vibration
Z
Other
I
SS ID Tag
M
MgO Construction
13. Bend Angle
Select One:
None
45 Degree Bend
90 Degree bend
Other
Mineral insulated thermocouples should not be bent on a radius smaller than twice the outside sheath diameter.
14. Bend Location "C"
Enter inches from tip ( "N" for None )
There are minimum bend locations for all Mineral Insulated sensors – dependent on sheath diameter.
